Complete the 2024 NYC School Survey by April 19

Time is running out to complete the 2024 NYC School Survey!

From now until the new extended deadline on Friday, April 19, 2024, New York City public school families, students, teachers, and select staff members can access and complete this year's NYC School Survey, and let us know their thoughts about City public schools.

What is the NYC School Survey?

Held annually over the past 18 years, the NYC School Survey is one of the largest annual surveys conducted in the United States. Available in 10 languages, and open to City public school families, teachers, employees serving grades 3K through 12, and students in grades 6–12, the survey provides us with your feedback about your experiences in New York City public schools.

Your survey answers, which will remain anonymous and confidential, will help our schools better understand what their students and community members need and think about their learning environments, educators, curricula, support services, and more. In fact, the information you provide can help foster new discussions within your school community that can result in making your schools better places to learn!

Completing the NYC School Survey

You can access the survey online at NYCSchoolSurvey.org. To begin filling out the survey:

  • Students in grades 6–12 will need to enter your nine-digit student identification number, or OSIS. You can find the OSIS on your report card, school ID card, or NYC Schools Account.
  • Families with children in grades K–12 will need your child’s nine-digit student identification number, or OSIS. Once on the survey page, you must enter a lowercase “f,” followed by your child’s OSIS to access the survey.
  • Families with children in 3K or Pre-K should contact your child’s school or program to receive your survey access code.
  • Teachers and staff members should ask your school's coordinator for a unique anonymous access code.

Families can also access the survey through their New York City Schools Account (NYCSA), which can also be used to check your child’s current progress in school—including grades, test scores, and more. Don’t have a NYCSA? Learn how to sign up for one today through our official NYCSA webpage.

What happens when the survey is closed?

The overall results of the 2024 NYC School Survey will be shared with school staff members to help support their planning for the 2024–2025 school year. Survey results will then be released to the general public later in the year.
